Missing Teeth Annapolis, MD

Why Replace Missing Teeth?

Replacing a missing tooth isn’t just about restoring the esthetics of your smile. Once a tooth is lost, it sets off a chain reaction in the mouth. Bone, that once supported the tooth, begins to deteriorate. Neighboring teeth will shift into the open space. As time goes by, these problems only worsen, making replacement options more difficult and expensive.

Our dentists are highly trained and experienced in implant dentistry. We work with a local oral surgeon for the placement of implants and complete the restoration in our Annapolis dental office using high quality materials.

What Are My Options For Missing Teeth?

There are a variety of options available for replacing missing teeth. Your dentist will perform a comprehensive evaluation to diagnose your specific condition and make recommendations for the best long term results. Our goal is to restore your smile to its natural function with optimal health and esthetics.

Dental Implants

One of the best solutions for a missing tooth is a dental implant. An implant is the most tooth-like restoration and replaces the actual root of the missing tooth. Dental implants have a success rate of higher than 95% and they are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

The cost of dental implants is one of the biggest concerns patients have. While dental implants do tend to be more expensive initially, than alternative treatments, they require the least amount of dental work in the future. While no type of dental restoration is 100% guaranteed, patients with dental implants often need very little maintenance or require additional costs.

Dentures and Partial Dentures

Dentures have been used for centuries to replace missing teeth. Today’s dentures look and feel more natural than ever before. In our Annapolis dental office, we also offer implant supported dentures – often called “All on 4” or “Teeth in a Day”. This type of denture requires as few as four dental implant to permanently fix an upper or lower denture. Implant dentures offer better retention and long term benefits compared to traditional removable dentures.

Dental Bridge

A dental bridge can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. Our dentists offer several types of dental bridges to fit your needs, cosmetic goals and budget.
